thats certainly good market visibility, chief. excellent opportunity to find a good home for sure.
At the end of any auction, two or more motivated, NON-deadbeat folks after it is all ya need.
more often than not, that results in a "fair" deal.

Did the market speak ? I've never been in Bring a trailer. I presume most of America hasn't. I realize it was around a bit on other sites but, I'm not convinced. As Ray said the market spoke today with these two bidders.
Example: that four door 71 Polara was listed on a dealer site for 12995. Listed for a month or so, maybe two. Someone posted it here, I never saw it until two months after it was sold. I'd have probably gone up to 17 or 18, it was that nice and I am in the market.
Exposure and the right guys gotta see it.

I understand what you're saying Dave. The reason I went with B.A.T. was all the auctions I watched, and there were many brought more money than I expected them to. Until that is my wagon.
Not sure what the reason but I sent a text and e mail to the winner and haven't heard back yet. Won't break my heart if he ghosts me!My65cuda

Devils advocate. Buyer has 7500 into it after fee's and likely 1500 in logistics. At 9k for the buyer, imo, that's likely all the money on the car. It's tough when you get into patina cars.

I'm not saying I disagree with anything about it except the market speaking. The BaT market has spoken.I understand what you're saying Dave. The reason I went with B.A.T. was all the auctions I watched, and there were many brought more money than I expected them to. Until that is my wagon.
I like the post above, makes sense.

Still no response from the winning bidder. Hoping I don't hear.

I totally agree with your logic and numbers however most other auctions I watched to gauge the market the bidders didn't show as much fiscal responsibility as they apparently did on mine.

Well Dave I guess I was trying to say in a nice way nobody wanted to spend "Stupid Money" on mine.

I certainly wouldn't say you were asking "Stupid Money" for yours, I think the buyer got a hell of a deal but the "right" buyer didn't show up for your auction. At least you got close to what you wanted.Well Dave I guess I was trying to say in a nice way nobody wanted to spend "Stupid Money" on mine.

I've sold 9 cars on BAT. All but 1 I did well on. The other, I lost around 10k. There is a type there for sure. Be thankful you had those 2, if only one was there, could have gotten messy.

Had it been a T&C with woodgrain, I think it might have gone to 10k.

Well even at that price the buyer doesn't seem very interested. Still no word from him.

@My65cuda did you get contacted right away on all you B.A.T sales?

I thought BaT had some kind of built in measures to prevent deadbeats.

I thought so too. They already debited his credit card $355. I guess that's their measure.

I'd have been in touch within 5 minutes out of excitement.

I need to know because I have another possible buyer on the hook if he flakes. A few months ago I rented it out for two days to use in a movie. Well about 4 hours after the auction started I get a call from the broker saying they need the car for more filming in Ohio and want to buy it. I couldn't and wouldn't stop the auction so I told him he's out of luck unless they want to bid on it. So if it is available I'll give him a call and see if they still want it.

Ok he called so it's a done deal.
